revo steel driveshafts

[ahtwl08]

does anyone use the steel driveshafts? part 5451R and 5650R. do you like them? I keep breaking the plastic ones and im getting tired of fixing it. don't get me wrong, its cheap and easy, just takes time when your buddies are still driving and leaving you behind. only thing im worried about by putting them on is that im going to start stipping spur gears, breaking diffs and trans gear. I know all that power has to go somewhere. thanks

I use them, and never had an issue, some people run summit driveshafts with good results.

Did you do just the outer driveshafts? Or inner too? Also, did you replace them because you were breaking the plastics ones, or just because they look good? Ive had a lot of people tell me that they break the plastic ones a lot when bashing. Thanks

Yep, the plastic ones are easily broken. Especially on 6S. Mine lasted about 20 runs on 4S, then after switching to 6S, one broke at the joint. It's an easy and cheap fix though. 5$ for 2 half axles. And 10 min work.
